Release Notes: This release added support for 800x600 pixel displays, such as small laptops and tablets. Cloaking animation sequence, explosion imagery rate, planet highlight timing, and info window timeout were fixed. All sped up as a result of servers moving to a higher update rate.

Build hardening was added, catching certain kinds of buffer overflow attacks.

for Cygwin. The number of metaservers that can be
connected to was increased. Major reworking of INL
draft was done. Game play policies were refined.
Major bugs were fixed. Major documentation updates
were made.
